The Grand-Baie police are investigating the kidnapping of a 31-year-old man from Plaine-Verte on Thursday evening, January 30.
The victim was speaking with a restaurant owner and her husband around 11 p.m. when a minibus stopped nearby. Two men exited, grabbed him by force, and dragged him into the vehicle. Despite bystanders' attempts to raise the alarm, the kidnappers quickly fled toward Pointe-aux-Canonniers.
The motive behind this abduction remains unclear. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and gathering testimonies to track the suspects. The police have intensified their efforts to locate the victim and ensure his safe return, as the incident has left the community shaken.
